Lab spending habits slammed by House committee hearing
Los Alamos National Laboratory faces criticism for spending practices that limit local vendors in northern New Mexico. Lab Deputy Director Joe Salgado says the lab aims to spend 35 percent locally and expects to exceed that, but only a third of spending occurs in the region. Critics contend subcontractors hinder local procurement. Salgado cites local development clauses and outreach efforts. Local business owners report mixed results with card systems and procurement changes designed to boost regional participation.
